1.) It is not a "problem".

2.) You can disable xhtml validation checking, and if you still want to simplify the write panel you can hack that too

Your answer is not very helpful. Of course I have searched the forum first!
I might have used inaccurate keywords but I did not find a solution. I described it as a "problem" because it is a problem for the user of the blog. There is an easy way around it if you understand HTML, but how can a 8-9 years old child fix such a message as: invalid tag .... ?
Basically I am wondering why the editor is generating invalid code? Disabling XHTML check in the settings does not change the code it just suppresses some of the warnings.
I do not see the same behaviour on the official demo blog (B2evo). There I can write in color or with background and no error are generated ? Why ? Is there something I have changed by mistake in the settings of my blog ? I use a different skin than the one in the demo could that be a reason ?
I'll be glad if somebody would point me towards a constructive solution.
Thanks, Stef.

You can try integrating another decent wysiwyg editor, or fixing the current one but it ll sure be a pain in the arse either way.

I reinstalled the entire blog application and it is now working well. I do not know why some files got corrupted the first time?
